OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Oh, and daughter is 22. They are VERY close, so I don't understand this. And she is now texting me because she hasn't gotten a letter the last two weeks, but GF has gotten 2-3 EACH WEEK.

I want to strangle him.

Geez, what a horrible position to be in. I would not like delivering any of that news. Hopefully your daughter will let him have it in a way that moms can't. I bet he's going to feel bad about all this afterwards.

I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today only because yes I've been getting letters but never a phone call, not even the "I'm here" call. Those all go the GF. And I just got the dates from Proud wife for the Battle Stations and now know when he should call next. If I ever wanted one phone call that it would be it. But figure he will call the GF. Makes me sad.

Why does it have to take so long before the kids realize the importance & bond of family?! If we were in the Mafia, they'd know! JK :)

Let us know how things go, we'll be thinking of you!

Ha! Funny you should mention the mafia. Hubby' s family is straight up Hungarian and their mafia rivals the Italians...lmao!
We all need a night at the lodge to relax together!

Sounds like a few of us mom's will all be at Navy Lodge. So will we. My son is also ship 11 div 026. Thankful that we don't have gf issues but our daughter will still have to stay at the hotel and watch live stream. NL will be showing it in the lobby. They also allow is to make and hang congrats posters on the door to our rooms. Just thought you might want to know.
